Sam's Club sells Duracell brand 6V AGMs which are affordable and convenient to get. My Sam's Club 6Vs are now 3 years old and are still doing great.
Either one lasts for years, but the 12V sizes may fit into more stock RV battery compartments better ... so that other precious storage areas don't have to be sacrificed so as to be able to use 6V golf cart batteries in order to get deep cycle performance.

Next chance, replace the hard to get at batteries with deep cycle AGMs. You can install them on their sides, and they seldom need to be hauled out.

That is ridiculous. What kind of screwball motor home company would design such a stupid battery compartment? DUH!!!!!
Sorry for my harsh unproductive reply.

does this compartment door just flush mount to the side of the rV?
if so, just remove the door/frame. somebody got them in there somehow and I refuse to believe they were installed during the construction.
